Mila, Ashton Won't Give Kids Christmas Gifts - But It's Not Because Of The Naughty List

By: Christopher Feery | October 12, 2017

Bells will be ringing before we know it, but it doesn’t sound like they’ll be ringing all that loud in the household of Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. That’s not because the couple won’t be celebrating Christmas or anything, but rather because they’ve decided to do things a little different with their kids. As the New York Daily News shares, the stars have revealed that they won’t giving their kids presents this year.

Fear not, 3-year-old daughter Wyatt, and less-than-1-year-old son, Dmitri haven’t found themselves on the naughty list for pushing the envelope too far or anything. As Kunis explained to Entertainment Tonight, they just got too much last year.

"So far, our tradition is no presents for the kids," Kunis said. "We're instituting it this year because when the kids are (younger than) one, it doesn't really matter. Last year when we celebrated Christmas, Wyatt was two and it was too much," she explained.

Fair enough. So did the relatively new parents go a little too overboard last time around? Nope, but their parents did.

"We didn't give her anything — it was the grandparents,” she added. “The kid no longer appreciates the one gift. They don't even know what they're expecting; they're just expecting stuff."

While it’s always a good idea to temper children’s expectations on things, it sounds a little hardcore to be cutting gifts off completely. However, Kunis has offered up a solution that actually makes some sense.

"Otherwise, we'd like to take a charitable donation, to the Children's Hospital or a pet (or) whatever you want," Kunis added. "That's our new tradition."

Based on the fact that their parents are wildly successful, we’ll go out on a limb and assume that Wyatt and Dmitri aren’t exactly lacking for things that they need to wait all year for. That’s not to suggest that they’re spoiled in any way, but reality suggests that they’re living in a different world in comparison to kids of parents that aren’t known the world over. Beyond the changes on gift giving, it sounds like there will be plenty of jingle bells and whatnot to keep the good times rolling once the holidays come.

"Whether it's Easter, which we've now all accepted into our Jewish household, or Christmas, it doesn't matter," Kunis said. "It's all family time, but having kids, we're building up our own little versions of tradition."

The actress's upcoming film, "A Bad Moms Christmas," hits theaters on November 1. It’s the sequel her 2015 movie ‘Bad Moms.’ We’ll resist the urge to speculate on whether or not she got the Christmas gift idea while filming the flick, but we’ll also assume that we’re not alone in having that thought pop into our heads. Kunis and Kutcher starred together on "That '70s Show." They have both built fabulous careers since debuting as relative unknowns on the hit show, and they became a thing years later before tying the knot in 2015.
